Predictive Potential of Angiogenic Growth Factors and Circulating Endothelial Cells in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Metronomic Chemotherapy Plus Bevacizumab.
PURPOSE: The association of chemotherapy and antiangiogenic drugs has shown efficacy in clinical oncology. However, there is a need for biomarkers that allow selection of patients who are likely to benefit from such treatment and are useful for indicating best drug combination and schedule. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We investigated the predictive potential of six angiogenic molecules/transcripts and...
متن کاملMaximum tolerable dose and low-dose metronomic chemotherapy have opposite effects on the mobilization and viability of circulating endothelial progenitor cells.
There is growing evidence that vasculogenesis (progenitor cell-derived generation of new blood vessels) is required for the growth of some neoplastic diseases. Here we show that the administration of cyclophosphamide (CTX) at the maximum tolerable dose with 21-day breaks or at more frequent low-dose (metronomic) schedules have opposite effects on the mobilization and viability of circulating en...
متن کاملMetronomic chemotherapy enhances the efficacy of antivascular therapy in ovarian cancer.
Metronomic chemotherapy is the frequent administration of low doses of chemotherapeutic agents targeting tumor-associated endothelial cells. We examined the efficacy of metronomic taxanes alone and in combination with AEE788-a dual epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor-in an orthotopic mouse model of ovarian cancer. Growth-modu...

these cells may predict response to chemotherapy. 21 While this observation is intriguing, simpler and more reproducible predictive markers have been used. However, this observation may be further explored in selecting patients for anti-angiogenesis clinical trials. While it has been years since anti-angiogenic therapy has been introduced for the treatment of cancer, such therapy remains only m...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two different intensities of physical activity on circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in healthy young women. For this purpose, 15 female students from volunteers were randomly selected via questionnaire (group 1: mean age 22 ±1/8 years, BMI 20/81±1/91 kg/m2, n = 8. group 2: mean age 21 ±1/5 years, BMI 20/38 ± 1/66 kg/m2, ...
